Calnpmg her In- Volved Worlds of praara ation and num, orous other problems, The motor ve- hicle has changed all that. Now'al- tn0 st everybody contemplates eamp- ing experience and most folks use seldom out of luck. A little l,reakdown their automobiles in one way or an- of one kind or another will not incon- .. other in the process of enjoying the great out-of-doors, rte prepare for camping via auto- mobile involves no great outlay of time or expellee, There are just a few aimple facts to consider to lee prepared when going on tour. A. little exper- ience makes one thing plain; the camper must first of all consider the model of hie car and then select his outfit with refetenge to' it. A. five- pcssenger car With a dight outfit, two or three fewer passengers than there is room for, and nothing on board that is not absolutely necessatty, represents a sort of ideal to be striven for, Make a. tentative list of articles one proposes to take anflthen weigh the value of ch one of them in service before ipleting the final list. A failing of" many campers ie to take too much outfit. When camp is to be made every night and broken every morning equipment should be easy to handle. Some outfits take hours to set up and as long to take down and pack away in the morning. They make work out of camping in- stead of recreation. A tent should weigh not more than thirty pounds. Every' detail of camp making, from pitching the tent or making the beds or handling the food containers, building the fires and pre- paring the meals, should be easily within the strength of every member of the party. DINING ROOM SHELTERED. One of the favorite forms of tent providea a shelter dining 'room under the extension. In stormy weather this protection will 'be welcomed, as one can set up a gaeoline stove and eon- tinue operations. Loolc for a tent with a sewed-ln floor and provision for keeping mosquitoes out. Blankets are essential, but many campers dispense with a cot and sleep on the sewed -in tent floor. If this is done, spread a rain -proof protection under your blankets. Camping creates a taste for simple foods and, since there are stores along ings should be examined to determine the main routes, it is seldom worth their condition and to see that they while to oarry food supplies for more are properly lubricated. venienco him greatiy. Bad weather Will net impede his progress, Ili fact there is nothing that is liable to pre- vent him proceeding happily on his way. The speedster knows little about the pleasure of touring, nor does the fel- low who is always worrying lest he may not,arrive at a certain point at exactly a certain time. Such a person spends so much time pursuing the mane of the roads or watching his clock that the beauties of"nature lav- ishly provided for hien to see are entirely lost The man who is starting out for a tour with a new car which has been tried out enough to be sure that it is in condition need only know he has with him the things most likely to be needed in an emergency. But if the car has beenin service for several months or more he ought to give it a careful inspection before starting. In fact, after the owner has done what he is able to do by way of a thorough going over of the machine he can con- firm any suspicions he may have as to mechanical infirmities by taking the machine to a good service station. REFILLING GEAR -CASES. One of the things to attend to is the refilling of the gear cases, Both the transmission and the differential cases should be drained of ail oil and wash- ed out carefully with kerosene. At the same time the gears should be exam- ined closely to see if they are not in good shape. When cleaned the cases should be refilled with the proper amount of new lubricant. The crank case of the engine should be drained and cleaned out with kero- sene, and fresh oil should be put in. If the oiling system is worldng proper- ly it is best to let it alone except to see that it is well filled with the p'r'oper quality of lubricant. Of course the grease cups should be filled with the proper quality of lubri- cant and all points which are lubri- cated with oil from a squirt ran should be taken care of.

The party, which will be captained by Mr. Maki, one of the leading mountaineers of Japan, will include representatives from the Peers' School and Keio University. Final preparations will be made at Vancouver. The climbers will start out from Jasper, with thirty horses and a num- ber of native guides, and a base camp will be established at the foot of Mount 'Colombia.

Ii Knee Breeches Urged by Chancellor Luther of Germany Hardy Motorists Invited to Hudson Bay Territory Gather Relics from.British Ship Burned in 1812 The influx of summer visitors on Georgian Bay "to view the remains" of the Nancy, fighting British schoon- er burned during. the War of 1812 near Wasaga Beach, Ont., is like a rush to a gold mine. Scores have commenced digging for relics and al- ready many artloles have been un- covered. The derelict lies under sand on a little island, and those acquaint- ed with the, history of the gallant lit- tle ship are convinced that beneath the sands lie the old naval guns which made up the ship's armament in 1812. Three cannon balls of bncient var- iety were found by William Freeman, while J. G. Paterson located a twenty- four -pound. cannonball. Mr. Freemen also found a button from a British uniform bearing the name of the maker, "T. Nutting & Company, Co- vent Garden," on one side and on the otht-r the anchor sign of the Royal Navy. Hooks for grappling and oak cask staves also have been found. own family motor cars, fitted with flanged rime to grip the rails of the Hudson Bay line, is the ingenious scheme proposed by R. M. Haultain, a railway -construction engineer of Winnipeg. Mr. Haultain believes that such traffic over the government railway will present. no difficulties. To ob- viate any danger of accidents, he would placard the line to the effect that the pdd days of the month would be reserved for northbound ttaffic and the even days for southbound. Each car would be required to carry a light derailing shoe to provide for emergencies. The investment on the part of the railway company for flanged rims, trailers, steering gear looks, eta., would be negligible, declared Mr. Haultatn, when compared with the increased revenue obtained from freighting cars to different points along the Hudson Bay lino. Colonel J A. Currie, M.L.A., stated that he intended to bring the matter 0. W. L.

Autoists Average One Killing Daily in Great Britain Pedestrians and motorists are'.hav- ing an unhappy time on the winding roads of Great Britain. Accidents are increasing daily, nine persons being killed and twenty-one injured last week. The death rata averages one a day.
